Tomita, who is 81 years old this year, is known as one of the pioneers of electronic music in Japan. He wanted to feature the digital diva Hatsune Miku for his "Symphony Ihatov" concerts which was based on the novel world by Kenji Miyazawa, a Japanese novelist in the early twentieth century. The tour has been very successful and is planning more concerts in Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo this year.
